Since the salaries had to be paid during the school closure, part of the funds for the construction projects were used for this purpose in agreement with Beckhoff.
Greetings from Mpandandogo. I would like to say thanks very much to the funds sent to the Seminary. I am happy to inform you that the works are in good progress.
It
is very sad that up to the moment all school in Tanzania are closed! It is a
very disturbing moment to the curriculum development as well as economic
progress in national level up to an individual level.
As a Seminary, let me be open: we are facing a financial crisis! We have sent home almost all of our workers! The fact is almost 70% of our daily undertaking in the school depends on school fees! The school was closed in the beginning of the first quarter while the majority of the students were in the process of paying school fees; So you can imagine our situation.
We really appreciate what the company is doing for us, it is doing a lot! But in this particular situation may I appeal on the behalf of the community to beg for financial assistance to run the school; sincerely we are facing the problem of paying the salaries to our workers since last month! Indeed our workers are very understanding and they are coping to realize the situation, but I'm afraid we will lose the best workers as soon as they decide to go back to work in agriculture.
